Reactions

2-Iodopyridine and 3-alkoxy-2-iodopyridines are oxidized by DMDO to give PyIO2 , which serve as oxidants for alcohols and sulfides.
In palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of 2-iodopyridine, 3-iodopyridine and iodopyrazine were coupled with CO and various primary and secondary amines. The biologically relevant N-substituted nicotinamides and 3-pyridyl-glyoxylamides were obtained from 3-iodopyridine as a result of simple and double carbon monoxide insertions, respectively. The chemoselectivity towards the ketoamide can be increased by the elevation of CO pressure. On the other hand, N-alkyl and N-aryl-carboxamides were obtained exclusively from CO pressure of 1 to 90 bar by using 2-iodopyridine and iodopyrazine.
